Mango Coconut Liquado

One of the best things about vacationing out in Tofino is the now-famous food truck TacoFino (as recently seen on Eat St!). Besides their phenomenal burritos, tacos, gringas and chile-chocolate cookies, they have a lineup of liquados –chocolate, lime-mint and mango-coconut –to wash them all down.

The mango coconut liquado is one of their most popular — on our most recent visit there were dozens of people waiting at the bus window for theirs. A simple blend of fresh mango and coconut milk, they’re similar to an Indian lassi, made with mango and yogurt. The coconut milk is dairy-free and adds a piña colada-esque flavour, and cuts through the spiciness of Mexican food. The mixture would be fantastic frozen into liquado ice pops, or blended with ice cream for a milkshake. The addition of fresh ginger or mint would be rather fantastic, too.
